Plan for building sent back to panel

WHEELING — Village trustees sent a plan for an office building on the northwest corner of Dundee Road and Northgate Parkway back to the Plan Commission for further discussion.

The panel recently recommended that the Village Board reject A.M. Realty's project because the building would sit in a flood plain. Another reason was that Wheeling officials have not revised the comprehensive plan, which calls for open space on the site.

The developers presented designs for a four-story office building with first-floor retail space. Professional service retailers have expressed interest, architect Robert Kirk said.

Trustee Patrick Horcher, with other board members, objected to the building's "big-city look."
